My goal as a photographer is to get you to print your photos. I don’t want your images to live on Instagram, Facebook or on a USB. Our love ones should be seen regularly by showing how much they are loved in printed form. I get great joy walking past my family images framed on our wall.

I grew up during the film days and I enjoyed dropping my rolls of film to be developed. I also remember the days when I was in high school in the darkroom developing my own images. It was great pleasure to see what I was able to capture. I also enjoyed using my old school Polaroid camera but I now have this new generation Polaroid that I enjoy taking pictures with. No matter how you take your pictures just make sure you get a printed version.

When you come to me as your photographer, my goal is to make sure everyone leaves home with a tangible piece of artwork with a matching digital for archival purposes. It’s sad to hear about digital files being lost on crashed drives. Trust me it has personally happened to me and I lost some precious memories that I could not recreate. I promise I will make sure I stand by my own values and print those images that are currently sitting on the cloud.

So do you prefer to see your images digitalized or printed?
